Vascular Tests

Vascular Care at Washington Township Medical Foundation

We use advanced tests in order to diagnose possible vascular diseases.
These types of conditions affect blood flow in veins and arteries. Our
laboratory works to look at blood vessels that supply the body’s
tissues and organs. We can then hopefully gather the information we need
to diagnose your vascular condition. This allows us to provide effective
treatment.

Our vascular care experts are knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated. We
are proud to provide our patients with the experienced and comprehensive
care that they deserve. We know that you may have a number of questions
going in to a vascular test. Will the test hurt? What type of test will
you have? What should you expect going into the procedure? How should
you prepare? Will the results mean that you need surgery? We understand
that the uncertainty you may be facing, so our goal is to provide all
the information and answers you need. Be sure to ask our team if any of
your questions are not answered using the resources on our site.

Vascular Ultrasound

Using a duplex ultrasound, can evaluate blood flow in a patient’s
veins and arteries. There are numerous types of ultrasound tests that
can be used to test for vascular problems of various types. These include:

Abdominal ultrasounds, which examine the abdomen to test for aneurysmal
disease in the aorta

Carotid ultrasounds, which examine carotid arteries in the neck to determine
in blockages are present, which could cause a stroke

Renal ultrasounds, which examine the blood flow to the kidney to ensure
there are no blockages

Mesenteric ultrasounds, which examine the mesenteric arteries to determine
if blockages are causing abdominal pain / ischemia of the intestines
